• Where to Fish on Old Scroggie Pond

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. This is tidal water: the state of the tide decides where fish sit, so plan the session around it. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Read Old Scroggie Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. A car park sits roughly half a mile away. A pier half a mile from here gives a platform over deeper water. This sits inside East River Woodland, so read the reserve notices first. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. If the gate is shut, Goulds Pond at 1.1 miles is the nearest alternative.
